Wow. It's been a while since I've updated, hasn't it? Let's change that.
So, update time. A lot has happened since my last post. For one, I'm no longer working at Brownville Village Theatre. It's been an incredible summer, and the memories that I made there, the friends I made, and the place itself will forever have a very special place in my heart. When I came home, I experienced that unmistakable feeling you get when you come home after being away from college for a year. You know what I mean? Where you're home but it feels more nostalgic than anything else? Yup! I kind of realized through the experience that I'm a very different kind of human being as far as the concept of "home" goes. I really truly feel that home is wherever I am at the moment. And I mean the long-term moment. If I'm out shopping, the grocery store is not my home! But on a serious note, I kind of like this lifestyle. Sure, it gets awkward when people ask where I'm from and all I can say is, "Uuh... Fargo, I guess?" But I like it.
This school year got off to a bit of a rough start. I wasn't cast in either of the shows this semester, which was a huge blow, considering the last time that happened, I was a first-semester Freshman. But I've recovered. It's given me a great opportunity to try new things! Two new things I've gotten to experience: modeling and fencing! I've got a few photographer friends that have I've been able to photograph for, and I have to say, it's kind of fun! I'm definitely not going to put myself down as a model or start competing to see if I'm the best in the nation, but it's not bad. Not bad at all. Here's one of the photos I've taken recently. This one was done on the fly, where my friend called me up and asked if I could swing by and take pictures with me! Yay for no makeup whatsoever! Au naturale, friends.

So that's one thing that I've started doing lately. But I've also started taking Fencing lessons. I never realized how intense a sport it is! My last lesson was on Friday and my legs still ache! I absolutely loved it, though. I'm catching on pretty quickly, so hopefully I'll be able to improve as much as possible before the rest of the year starts rolling. It's a group that really only meets during the times I'm unavailable if a show is in rehearsal, so that is an upside to not being cast this semester.
Other than that, I've gotten to enjoy a lot of downtime and time with friends (and working out) that I've never been able to enjoy before. It's kind of nice to be able to relax and have fun this semester (while still working hard on my acting. Don't you worry, folks, I haven't forgotten my job!)
Oh yeah, and I'm makeup and hair designing our production of "Servant of Two Masters." It's going to be pretty outrageous!
And on one last side note, I promise, I will start updating this much more regularly. I'm pretty upset with myself at how bad I've been about this so far. Ta ta for now!
